These are numerous (about 30) and straight in the marginal area, but are mostly concealed in the dried insect so far as the subcosta is overlaiu in the longitudinal. Neuration of Oli(/07ieuria dobbsi, sp. n. furrow in front of the ridge crested by the radius (3) ; the next three open areas contain respectively about 15, 7, and 5 cross-veinlets, of which many are obsolescent posteriorly, and are too delicate to be shown in the figure. The two subfiliform tails terminating the narrow membrane incurrent along the posterior edge of the mesonotum or scutellum from the roots of the fore wings seem long enough to reach the base of the third abdominal segment. Head, body, fore legs, and the stout portions of the hinder legs pitch-brown ; head opaque ; thorax and dorsum lucid; venter pallid; tabescent hind tibia and tarsi impure whitish. Abdomen tapering posteriorly ; segments nos. 6, 7, and 8 longer than those anterior to them, of which the poste- rior lateral angles (if not rectangular) are produced into only very short, inconspicuous, tooth-like points ; but in segments nos. 8 and 9 the points produced are spiniform. Setae broken off when captured. Egg-masses lutescent, pale. Subanal lamina of the tenth segment narrow, shrunken troughwise in the dried insect, and produced on each side posteriorly into a broad-based, short, subulate spine. Length of body about 20, of fore wing 25 mm. Prep. Etn.; wings in Ca. balsam, mounted without pres- sure, detached from the pinned tvpe-specimen (Brit. Mus. Nat. Hist.). Hab. Sotik Post (alt. 6000 feet), Lumbwa District, British East Africa : one adult fly, captured at night in a house half fl mile from the river Nyangoris, 22. viii, 1911 (C. M. Dobbs),.
